As well DirecTV’s DVR falling far short of the 722k HD DVR, DirecTV’s Nomad service doesn’t even begin to compare to the TV Everywhere. DirecTV claims you can use Nomad to watch recorded content anywhere at any time, but before you can even begin watching you have to download your DVR content in real time. That means to download a one hour TV show can take over an hour! And you can’t even view live TV. With a DISH DVR and a Sling you can truly have all TV, recorded and live, with you instantly on your mobile devices.
